2001 Ford Taurus Maintenance Schedule

You want your Ford Taurus to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Taurus. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Taurus, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2001 Ford Taurus!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Taurus's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2001 Ford Taurus problems in the future.

Bring your 2001 Ford Taurus to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Taurus's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2001 Ford Taurus. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Taurus may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Taurus battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Taurus stranded. Your Ford Taurus won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2001 Ford Taurus running newer, longer. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 2001 Taurus, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2001 Ford Taurus? We can help with that, too!

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.
